AFTER THREE YEARS.
The supreme Court of Nebraska settles
n Big Transaction.

Ca;tlemen in particular and residents
of this section in general will remember
that about three years ago the Dakota
Stock & Grazing company, of which
Frank Kemp, of this city, is a member,
purchased a herd of cattle from Price &
jerks, the consideration being $40, $50.
OF that sum $4,000 was paid at once,
and the remaining S25, 1880 was to be
forthcoming at a specified time.
The date upon which the cattle we're to
be delivered was passed unnoticed by
Price Il jerks and the company at ouce
demanded the return of the $50, 900.
Price & jerks refused to refund the
money and were promptly sued.
The matter soon reached the courts and
was appealed from one to another until
the ~litigants found themselves paying
fees in the supreme court of Nebraska,
where the case was decided a few days
ago in favor of the Dakota Stock & Graz
ing company, much to the satisfaction of
the stock holders of the organization.
The opinion of the court is elaborate and
lengthy and discusses even the minutest
points in the case. Price & jerks will,
unless the matter is carried to a still
higher court, be compelled to refund the
$50, 900 with interest, instead of forcing
the company to accept the cattle and pay
the remaining s26, $50. Mr.. l.. G. jerks,
of the Phoenix market, is a member of
the firm of Price & jerks. Price is a
Chicago man.

Opening ofthe Grand Central Tonight.
The Grand Central saloon, Mr.. Ben.
Ekdall's magnificent new establishment
on Ferguson street between Fifteenth and
Sixteenth, will be thrown open to the
public this evening. There will be a
grand time, to which everybody is cor
daily invited. Mr.. Ekdall has spared
neither pains nor expense in building and
furnishing the Grand Central, which is
second to no resort of that character in
the city. The wines, liquors, cigars, etc.,
are similar to the building and fittings,
first class. The proprietor enjoys a rep
utation for hospitality, and proposes to
Guido all former occasions tonight. A
splendid free lunch will be one of the
features of the opening.

GarlanA,s Decllnatlon.

Attorney General Garland has taken oc-
casion to say to ~ Associated Press re.
porfw thee ko6 not . candidate for the su.
Oehch, and that he has so advised
,S president. He says he would not &C
cept the place il offered him, not because
he does not value 1t, but because he thinks
that his health and his age will prevent
him from doing the duty of the place as it
shorld be done.
Mr.. Garland's reasons are not very good.
He says that he could serve but fifteen
years on the bench before reaching the age
OF retirement, and he does not consider
that q long enough service to earn the re-
firing pension. Few persons will agree
with him. Fifteen years of good fervice
II quite enough to content the demand of
the nation and to earn g retiring pension
for duty faithfully and efficiently per-
formed. Fifteen hundred years Of ineili.
cient service, such as that had from the
majority of the present supreme court
would not earn q pension.
Attorney General Garland is probably
intent upon his resolution to refuse this
high place, because Of the mean and un-
just clamor raised by miserable and pur-
chased portion Of the press against him be-
cause Of his innocent connection with the
Pan. Electric company. He shows great
delicacy of feeling in refusing to put the
president to the slightest embarrassment
from this cause, in considering his name.
He would naturally have been the presi-
dents first choice, being in the line Of pro-
motion and in every way worthy Of it. A
bench Of such men would be great adorn-
kment TO the nation.
The president goes to the AdirOndacks
without naming the new judge. He is as
usual acting deliberately, and may be re-
lied on to decide wisely. The claim Of Sec
tion ought not to stand in the way Of those
OF talent and character. Let US have first
class supreme court, and the safety Of the
country is.assured. With the court We now
have nothing is assured. 1t has not de-
served the confidence Of the nation.
